I'm also somewhere in the middle. I don't categorically believe that going into Iraq was a bad idea, but I also don't think that Bush handled the situation very well. I think there were a lot of negative consequences resulting from the war that were not neccessary.

Yes, the world is a better place without Saddam in power. Yes, the Iraqi people will end up having better lives in the end. But there are a number of bad things that I think could have been avoided if Bush were a better leader. Things like having the issue polarize not only citizens of the U.S., but of the entire world (something that should have been damn near impossible post 9/11). Insulting and belittling the UN, making it even more insignificant than it previously was. Not to mention using faulty intel to justify the war... I'm not trying to start a big argument here, so I digress.
